Netanyahu dismisses intl pressure
RT:
The legality of Israel’s Operation Protective Edge, which entered its fifth day on Saturday, has been questioned by the UN’s humanitarian chief. But Israel’s prime minister has said that no international pressure will stop the offensive.
Under international law, Israel must make sure its attacks are proportional, avoid civilian deaths, and identify military versus civilian objects on the ground, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said on Friday.
“We have received deeply disturbing reports that many of the civilian casualties, including of children, occurred as a result of strikes on homes. Such reports raise serious doubt about whether the Israeli strikes have been in accordance with international humanitarian law and international human rights law,” Pillay said in a statement.

Israelis have never accepted any resolutions of the U N and are not likely to do now. As long as America provide backing, financial and military aid to Israel without any condition they are not likely to listen to any Body, UN or other. Why does not America force Israel to get out of occupied territories and let the Palestinians govern for themselves within their borders. It appears its not in Americas interest, otherwise prove it.
Israel must be penalise for this inhuman action in Ghaza strip. Netanyahu is a murderer of humanity, innocent women & children. He must be brought to justice for crime against humanity. US is also to be blamed for giving free chit to Netanyahu.
It is truly sad and the world is quiet while innocemt people are killed for no reason with the backing of united states
